UKAS-accredited pendulum slip resistance testing for Bristol's retail estate. Court-defensible BS 7976-2 reports — for shopping centres, department stores, fashion retail and the wider city retail catchment.
Cabot Circus, Cribbs Causeway, The Galleries, Broadmead and the wider Bristol and South West retail catchment.
Surface Performance Ltd — operating under UKAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, Lab Schedule No. 7933 — provides BS 7976-2 pendulum slip resistance testing across Bristol's retail estate. From flagship city-centre stores and shopping centres through to supermarkets, department stores, fashion retail, electronics, pharmacies and motor retail.
Slip injuries are the single largest source of public-liability claims in UK retail. Bristol's retail catchment generates particularly high footfall — and therefore particularly high incident frequency. After a fall, the only slip evidence accepted by UK courts is a pendulum test report from a UKAS-accredited laboratory. The UKAS endorsement mark on our reports is what differentiates evidence accepted as expert opinion from evidence dismissed under cross-examination.
Across Bristol retail premises, the highest-risk zones are entrance vestibules during wet weather, polished shop floors common in fashion and jewellery retail, refrigerated supermarket aisles, food court floors, customer toilets, escalator landings and external pedestrian routes through shopping centres.
Bristol retail premises typically attend within 1–2 weeks of booking. Priority response available for post-incident investigations, RIDDOR cases and pre-litigation testing. Multi-site programmes across Bristol's retail estate — particularly for major chains and group brands — start from £350 per store for groups of 5+ sites.
